Stonehenge originally consisted of around 80 upright stones, known as sarsens and bluestones. The iconic arrangement includes a circle of sarsen stones and a horseshoe of trilithons, which are pairs of upright stones capped by a lintel. Over time, some stones have fallen or been removed, but the site remains one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world.
